cidb Best Practice Project Assessment Scheme
• The Board must establish a Best Practice Project Assessment Scheme based on the best practices identified by the Board:– All construction contracts above a prescribed tender
value will then be subject to an assessment of compliance with best practice standards and guidelines published by the Board

Enterprise Development
• Indirect targeting to promote enterprise development;– minimum of 5% of the total final project value must be
sub-contracted by the main contractor(s) to qualifying construction enterprises
– qualifying construction enterprises will receive mutually agreed upon enterprise development support
Qualifying Development Support
• Needs analysis must be developed for the developing enterprise(s)
• Project specific development program with milestones must be developed
• At least two areas of development must be identified per recipient applicable to the project period
Qualifying Development Support
• skills development leading to nationally accredited outcomes
• establishment of construction management systems and plans (H&S, quality and environmental)
• .......
Status
• Framework Document available• Focus Group established;
– 2011/01/22• Possible signoff by mid-2011
H&S management plans - client’s duties
• All public sector clients to have a requirement for project H&S management plans
• Best practice guidelines to assist clients to develop project H&S specification;– All project stakeholders to provide input for
development of H&S specifications and other H&S requirements during project inception, design and tender stage
Contractor’s H&S management plan
• Best practice guidelines to assist contractors to develop project H&S management plans;– Contractor develop H&S management plans and other
H&S requirements responding to H&S specifications
Review by client
– Client will review contractor H&S management plans at project tender stage
– Audit requirements for clients to review contractor H&S management plans
– Client compliance• cidb audit
Status
• Work in progress
Building Skills Policy
• Clients are encouraged to support skills development in the construction industry– achieve nationally recognised outcomes.
Aims
• Building Skills Policy supports the need to address skills shortages in the construction industry, and aims to:– Increase number of workers with nationally accredited
qualifications and registration with professional councils;
– improve graduation rates at Universities of Technology and FET colleges;
– Develop highly skilled and motivated labour force with good work ethics; and
– improved professionalism in construction industry
Requirements
• Structured training and skills development • 5% of labour hours on prescribed public and
private sector projects• training of interns and up-skilling of company
employees in programmes that result in nationally accredited outcomes– internships for professional candidacy– learnerships or accredited skills programmes
Requirements
• Total contract value of construction project• Training hours to be cascaded down from main
contract to sub-contracts.• Responsibility for compliance with Policy
remains with main contractor.
Requirements
• Maximum of one-third of labour hours allocated to employed learners obtaining experiential learning within employer's contract (i.e. internal placement).
Status
• Framework Document available• Focus Group established• Possible signoff by end-2011
cidb Centres of Excellence for R&D and Academic Excellence
Research and development
• cidb appointed two universities• Conduct research in relevant areas of
construction management• e.g. H&S in construction
Guides and information
Brochures
• Brochures– Contractor Tips and
Advice; Construction Health and Safety
• Guidelines– e.g. development of H&S
specifications– H&S work method
statements
Construction H&S; Status & Recommendations
Construction H&S; Status & Recommendations
• Organizational and site level:– lack of management commitment,
inadequate supervision, inadequate or a lack of H&S training
– lack of worker’s involvement and personal risk appreciation, and work pressures also contribute to poor performance
Construction H&S; Status & Recommendations
• Specific attention needs to be given to small and emerging contractors:– typically have limited resources to
provide for H&S– H&S processes will typically be less
structured, and based rather on prior contract experience
• A developmental approach is needed to support the small and emerging contractors
Construction H&S; Status & Recommendations
• enhancing impact of Construction Regulations• using public sector procurement to achieve
improvements in construction H&S• H&S information and statistics• minimum competence standards and
accreditation for client appointed H&S agents• establishment of an 'H&S Agency' for the
promotion, awareness, information and advice, and promotion of research on construction H&S
• ensuring that tertiary education addresses construction H&S and related issues
• facilitating a developmental approach to support the small and emerging contractors
